A piece of general advice when using rattle cans, hold the can 12-18 inches away from the piece you are painting, this will help avoid the paint pooling and help give you a more even paintjob. It also helps to do brief strafing passes with the paint instead of doing it piece by piece. For "texturing" I like to use the soft side of a dish sponge and dab it in some paint (not a lot of paint) then apply it to the rifle, but you can use many objects to get cool patterns.
Pro tip, if you have a wife who is in to that cricketing cult. You can have her make stencils like these. It’s a win win because it keeps her busy and entertained for a day.
I like to spray a base coat, let it dry, and then put sticky tack on top of the first layer, spray a different color, let it dry, and then repeat the process as you go along. I then top it all off with sponge blotching. It turns out pretty well. It also helps to start your base layer from a lighter tan and then make accents in darker tones.
I just got some plastic stencils on Amazon and held it over the firearm and it was so easy and I am so pleased with the way it came out. People thought I bought the gun that way. No need to apply stickers
Stencils are great and easy, depending on the pattern you choose. For a quick “field expedient” way, I like to put a base of a few light colors then use 550 cord and wrap the rifle with mesh bag (onion/avocado/laundry bag). Then spray my darks. The cordage looks like sticks or blades of grass when removed. DON’T FOR GET TO COVER OPTICS/LIGHT LENSES.
I paint all my rifles. Looks good. The vinyl stickers will definitely make things easier for my next spray! Last time I made them myself out of painters tape, that sucks to do…
Cool. I'm about to paint my gun, and I have similar colors, one dark green and one light, some grey and brown. To blend in with the grass and rocks here in Tennessee. I might have to get some of those stickers
Looks awesome! My first painted M-4 m203 was painted tan with tiger stripes and all I did was cut some claw marks in some cardboard haha. Those stencils are way better.
I do the laundry bag as well. I get the ones with smaller openings. Makes a great break up pattern. I just ordered stencils from Amazon to play around with and do some old school camo patterns.
I'm adding this as one of my favorite ways to paint a rifle, but the top method for me is still to do a base coat and then mask off for striping of another color and then coming back in and applying the matte paint with a sponge in layers for an extremely uneven almost digital effect. Most effective way I've seen so far of breaking up the silhouette of the rifle other than covering it in scrim.
This is much better than the last company I saw selling these.... They wanted like +$40 and up for a couple 12x12 sheets while depending on the pattern u choose there r $15 for 2-3 sheets
@dustinpribble1546 if done correctly in size and shape i see no difference than what is here or Multicam. When I paint a rifle I go for an A TACs look. No defined edges. All colors just blend into the next color.
Interesting combination, i wouldve personally gone for a little more of the original black in it. But i think Im gonna do something like this pattern with mine.
Has anyone seen A TACs camo? There are no distict borders between colors. Imagine woodland or multicam out of focus or blurry. That is what I go for. Works amazingly well.
Multi layers with dif pattern masking i did a pellet gun to test turned out great however vynyl wraped my 10 22 happy with it and easy to change later,just my input.
You've inspired me to paint Michaelangelo's "Creation of Adam" like the roof of the Sistine Chapel on this passed out lot lizard outside this here Buc-ee's.
I did my AeroPrecision AR10 build in Rhodesian camo pattern from Freedom Stencils using Duracoat Badass. It turned out sweeeeet. Was super patient, dried with blower dryer between coats. Has stood up to heavy abuse over 2 long elk hunting expeditions
Montactical has stencil kits as well idk if they are still around or not but I used their MC stencils 4 or 5 years ago and they were great, and yellow ish so they stencils contrast well and are easy to visualize on the gun
i'm worried that I will get paint inside the gun where I dont want it like on the barrel which might smoke when it gets hot and paint starts burning off? gonna try it on some cheap pmags first.
Nice! You should try out some Brownells Aluma-Hyde.... definitely more durable than regular spray paint. Ben using is for some ciao jobs a few years now.
I use an orange bag netting. I tap nothing off anymore. Zero F's given. I do use a brush or sponge on area's the paint always comes off at. Wood stove paint works good for muzzle devices.
Low pressure spray paint like Montana gold is the best you can get… high pigment quality and concentration really make it way better then your average spray paint brands…
Cool lookin paint job for sure. I've always used a variety of browns, tans, greens and grey in conjunction with a sniper veil, works well and very cost effective.
I found it looks better with a base coat of matte black. It blends better with the other paint, better than the aluminum black. Also tweezers to take of the stickers
Wow I would've never thought that you could use vinyl camo stickers like they do for cerakote! Crazy! I thought those stickers were only compatible with cerakote only! I heard they had warning labels on the package that said "WARNING! DO NOT USE SPRAY PAINT WITH VINYL STENCILS AS THIS CAN CAUSE MASS SHOOTINGS AND MAY CAUSE MORE HARM THEN CAMOUFLAGE "
I personally would put a base coat down first and let it get good and cured. Then maybe use the stickers. Black is very rare in nature. You could even use a primer as the base. Make sure to use brake cleaner or some kind of degreaser before painting.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Cricketing cult?
@@tsoliot5913 cricut...its a vinyl cutter. You can make decals, etc..
Bought one for stencilsm.ise it for everything now
This is genius, it’s bad enough I’ve been sneaking new guns into my safe lol
😂😂😂
Honestly the cone hack is the best part of this video. Lol
The stickers are pretty sweet too.
Sometimes you just have to get creative with the resources you have.

I recommend Rust-oleum's camo line, I've tested it under IR and it is IRR compliant.
Yes! That's what I used and mine turned out great.
I just got some plastic stencils on Amazon and held it over the firearm and it was so easy and I am so pleased with the way it came out. People thought I bought the gun that way. No need to apply stickers
Honestly wasn’t sure how this would come out at first but that is actually a pretty damn good looking paint job.

"I'm not the most patient person..." Me thinking it before you even admitted it 😉
Everyone calm down. I’m self aware of my current situation.

Yes painters tape is time consuming.
That came out great. The effort definitely paid off. I'm sticking with Gear Aid Camo wrap for now, but I'm gonna hop on the paint train eventually.
Hop on the train anytime. It’s a fun ride.
That came out pretty good. Definitely a step up from the basic mottled brown and green many rattle can jobs end up as.
The traffic cone was smart AF.
Call it a "tactical painting stand" make it FDE and charge $129.99.
How much is your life worth brosef?
Cool. I'm about to paint my gun, and I have similar colors, one dark green and one light, some grey and brown. To blend in with the grass and rocks here in Tennessee. I might have to get some of those stickers
Great $15 investment.
I like the color choices. The pattern is very stencil. It does look good
Nice finish. You can dust it with another color to get it to blend some of the hard edges.
Looks awesome! My first painted M-4 m203 was painted tan with tiger stripes and all I did was cut some claw marks in some cardboard haha. Those stencils are way better.
AWESOME PAINT JOB ! Very good color choice, pattern and separation.
I am with you on the logo preferences. I'm looking at you Crimson Trace....
I always paint my guns upside down so that when i hang in trees by my knees upside down my gun camo is right side up!
I do the laundry bag as well. I get the ones with smaller openings. Makes a great break up pattern. I just ordered stencils from Amazon to play around with and do some old school camo patterns.

Want some different shapes? Buy some jigsaw puzzles.
@paultoth7853 what are u talking about? Jigsaw isn't a very good camo

Looks amazing, thanks for the tutorial!

😎👌 Excellent job brother. The colors are different and more custom.
Those shorts are awesome. Just painted my AR47 jungle tiger stripe
End result looks awesome great advice thanks!
Best camo paint job I've seen was done with dawn dish soap
All the hater moaning about not painting their safe queens😂
I knew it was coming.
Their tantrums are hilarious.
Some I’d paint others no. Depends if I want style or camo.
I love when they clone an sf rifle but they don’t paint it. Almost all sf dudes paint their shit
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I couldn’t help doing that but that’s funny. 😂
Net curtain material has limitless designs and helps give a great finish.
What about cleaning it before you paint?
Never done this, and I'm looking to do it real soon,thanks
The traffic cone is a good idea,i usually hang them up from the ceiling in the garage but then i get paint all over everything.
I was a little skeptical at 1st but it came out great

In 200 years when they find your work they will put it in a museum.
She'll still be working then lol!😂

I thought that was going took terrible! But that is probably the best rattle can job i have seen ! Nice!
“You don’t even have to be good at painting” 😅 tell that to Reno may.
Not sure if I'd use the stickers, but I love the results of the bag.
I love Montana gold spray paint for rifles and their varnish protects the paint well too, I did mine in their sand to imitate hk RAL8000
I really like it! I thought you did a fantastic job
Montactical has stencil kits as well idk if they are still around or not but I used their MC stencils 4 or 5 years ago and they were great, and yellow ish so they stencils contrast well and are easy to visualize on the gun
*Freedom Stencils is still around
i'm worried that I will get paint inside the gun where I dont want it like on the barrel which might smoke when it gets hot and paint starts burning off?
gonna try it on some cheap pmags first.
That looks clean good work
Does painting a AR plummet it's retail value?
I guess that depends on the buyer.
@@wisemencompany and the paint job 😂
Does the paint make the rifle feel sticky? I would love to paint mine, but I'm afraid that the paint will feel sticky 😕
Thank you. I've been doing the typical green, tan and brown with mesh and it looks great, but I'd like to learn new patterns.
Use dish soap. That makes excellent tiger stripes
Looks tight bro! I love it
Those stickers seems awesome I got to try those out
Looks good. The laundry bag and stickers was a great rip! Thanks
stencils and stickers for firearm painting has been out for ages
Veil co not a thing anymore. Where can I find these stickers?
Great video. Cool product. I still love my laundry basket netting pattern lol
What rail wrap did you have on the one with the eotech? 2:27
Thank you 🙏
Lunar Concepts Hot Pocket sold on our website.
@@wisemencompany thanks! Just found your channel, new subscriber 👍🏻
Zach ever gonna restock??
sure a lot of paint??? looks good
Goblin green? Pretty sure that's the same color i used on scale miniature bases years ago!
Yeah who comes up with these names ?🤷🏻♂️
That turned out really cool.
Thanks. Appreciate it.
Where can i purchase the stickers?
Thank you for making the first good camo tutorial
Geez literally everything on your buddy's website is sold out. Do you happen to know what's up? Or anywhere else I can get multicam stencils?
Looks great, thanks for. sharing
Turned out great
Nice! You should try out some Brownells Aluma-Hyde.... definitely more durable than regular spray paint. Ben using is for some ciao jobs a few years now.
Can't find that can of goblin green. Brand?
Awesome job ! Really cool look
Is there a reason people don’t paint the muzzle device? (Aside from the obviousness of painting down the barrel lol)
painting the muzzle device can make suppressor lock up a problem and paint will typically get blown off in the first couple mags anyway.
@@wisemencompany good to know thanks
Freedom Stencils is also a great source for stencils, I’m gonna check out veil design though now.
May I ask the brand of your hand guard? And where to order?
American Defense
I use an orange bag netting. I tap nothing off anymore. Zero F's given. I do use a brush or sponge on area's the paint always comes off at. Wood stove paint works good for muzzle devices.
Nicely done!
Your forward bolt assist is missing the knob ...
Looks good I'd like to do my Mossberg 590 someday!
Doooo it!
Just painted my rifle a couple days ago... I wish this popped up in my feed sooner lmao
My last couple rifles have been painted using stencils. I won't say the company's name. I'll be using viel from here on out.
That’s amazing!!! What a great idea.
It looks good after you use it for a while it will look better
Low pressure spray paint like Montana gold is the best you can get… high pigment quality and concentration really make it way better then your average spray paint brands…
I’ve had good luck with Brownells Alumahyde.
looks awesome!
Have you tried the q-tip method?
No I have not.
You were a good advertisement for that company cause they are sold out of everything in their site lol
Their shit is still showing sold out as of today!!
Great video, love the minimalist approach.
Cool lookin paint job for sure. I've always used a variety of browns, tans, greens and grey in conjunction with a sniper veil, works well and very cost effective.
What's that cover you had over the foreguard
Hot Pocket. Sold on our website.
@wisemencompany now I'm forsure buying it since it's called Hot Pocket
Thats actually awesome
Where u get the stickers from
Did you watch the video?
Like the net bag stencil , thanks for the I fo
Where are the rhodesian camo shorts from?
They are tiger stripe and I had them chopped and sewn.
I found it looks better with a base coat of matte black. It blends better with the other paint, better than the aluminum black. Also tweezers to take of the stickers
Solid advice.
Wow I would've never thought that you could use vinyl camo stickers like they do for cerakote! Crazy! I thought those stickers were only compatible with cerakote only!

What angled fore grip is on the rifle at 2:30?
Well done sir
I'm not into rattlecanned guns, but the color scheme is awesome.
I appreciate that you can appreciate.
Sick final reveal 😊
I personally would put a base coat down first and let it get good and cured. Then maybe use the stickers. Black is very rare in nature. You could even use a primer as the base. Make sure to use brake cleaner or some kind of degreaser before painting.
Turned out cool!
